 Lovely campsite, with fab facilities. Clean showers, hot water, even got fridge/freezers. Big site and nice and flat. The main camping field is a bit far from the facilities but not exactly a major hike.
I was a solo camper and for high season the price was pretty good for all the facilities.
My only negative is the local pub - Royal Oak. Got the distinct impression I was an inconvenience to them. The campsite owner/manager also indicated that he wasn't always sure if and when they were open. Just bear this is mind pre-booking and planning to eat out. That said a 2 mile stroll down the canal to Talybont and you have 3 good pubs to go at.

What a fantastic site in the heart of the Brecons. We were greeted on arrival by the friendliest staff you could wish for who directed us to our pitch. We opted for a fully serviced pitch which was fantastic, great size and close to the amenities.
The site is immaculate throughout, everything from the toilets to the wash facilities are sparkling! The site is split into 3 areas, each one immaculate and well catered for. The local area is beautiful and you have it all within easy reach.
We visited Brecon and did the waterfalls walk during our weekend and cannot wait to return with the bikes! You are literally metres from the Taff trail where you can cycle to your hearts content!
There is a small pub in the village but you need to book on a weekend, very busy! All in all this is the best site we have ever been to and will return very soon, cannot recommend enough!

First site we have stayed at with our new trailer tent' weather dreadful. The best site we have ever stayed at in all our years of camping.
Fantastic facilities, information room with four fridge freezer, s drying room, good family and disabled facilities, toilet and shower area spotlessly clean.
Well laid out site, well drained considering the weather. Cycled the canal tow path which was close by, several areas around site where we could wash our bikes on return.
Pub just down the road, friendly with good food. Friendly staff at reception nothing to much trouble. Will return.

Our first glamping experience! We found this site to be well equipped, tidy and well set out.
Finding where to register was a little hard with the shop being closed.
Facilities great, clean and warm at all times. Loved the family rooms, easy to wash and dry everyone.
I can thoroughly recommend this campsite to families.
Improvement points, a microwave alongside the free of charge fridge / freezers. A vending machine for snacks, alongside the coffee machine.
Really pleased we tried here for our first trip, a lovely, quiet and peaceful site.

Lovely quiet site. A bit on the expensive side but well worth it for the peace and quiet. 1 tent, 2 adults and EHU came in at £23 per night.
Facilities were excellent, clean and tidy at all times. No wonder they have won awards. Washing room, laundry room and the drying room all pleasant to use.
Pitches were generous and we were given a choice and just told the owners where we had set up. Each pitch is clearly marked and bordered by flowerbeds and bushes.
Shop is handy on site for those forgotten items such as milk.
Owners were helpful and the inclusion of the information room was genius - we found this very helpful.
Would highly recommend and hopefully will be visiting again soon.

This is a beautifully maintained site with a devoted and knowledgeable gardener who was very friendly. It was lovely to see so many flowers at this time of year.
The site is in a fabulous location, but the only slight downside of this is that the road leading to it is fairly narrow and bendy. It was definitely worth it though!
The shower/toilet block was immaculately kept with plenty of loos, basins and showers. There was a laundry room which was handy, and there was lots of local information available too.
The site is large with lots of space for camping too and picnic tables all around. Boot rinsing areas with brushes were a very thoughtful addition at this time of year.
Pity the pub is only open Thurs. To Sun. But we did manage to get there on our last night and it was good.
Lovely canal side walks from the site and easy driving to Brecon town and to the Beacons for some lovely walks. We would recommend this site to anyone.

Camped here in February for short out of season getaway. I chose this site because of it's great reviews and apparently good facilities; I was not disappointed.
The staff here were pleasant to speak to at all times.
I stayed in the Oaks field with electric hookup. The pitches are set but very generous. The view from the field is very nice. There is a road running alongside, but it's a slow road anyway and quiet at night.
The amenities block is wonderful. It's heated all the time and cleaned twice a day. Hot water always available in the showers and at all hand and washing up basins.
I was initially taken aback by the 'no music' rule whilst I loved the 'no shouting' one. However, having spent time at this site in the mornings and evenings, it really is special just to sit back and hear all the birds twittering and sheep baaing around you. The 'information room' is a nice touch, and very informative.
The site does do Calor exchange, but they do not stock 3. 9KG Propane bottles. I politely suggest that they do in future as this is a popular size amongst tenters.

Beautiful! Wow, what a site! We stayed 2 nights at this great site. Location for Brecon and the Beacons is fantastic. The actual farm is nice and the site is spacious and well maintained.
The facilities are great and very clean.
This site has won many awards and quite rightly so!
The owners are really friendly too which is always a good addition.
It snowed whilst we where there making the site and the surroundings very scenic.
We will be back to this site!
Take some bird feed with you and you'll be awarded with so many different birds coming to feed. Although we didn't use it, I believe you can get into Brecon on the Canal Tow Path which runs right along the site.
Just up the road is the small but warm and welcoming Royal Oak Pub that has Brains Beer on tap! Yummy!

The site is very well kept and pleasant to stop on. Staff friendly.
Lots of scenic walks about and a couple of local pubs worth visiting.
Rather than state the best parts of the site which have already been mentioned in previous reviews I will state some that are niggles but would make the site very good.
The shower water was only just usable as it was only just warm. I think this must have been like this since summer but now its colder the temperature needs increasing. Took a couple of minutes to get to just warm.
The wifi is free but must be limited as when it gets to evening when most are online the signal drops to weak or nothing at all and its only a small site so this needs attention.
The site is very dark at night if you wish to walk to toilet block, could do with a few more lights near the paths.
Enjoyed our stay and yes a would return.

This is by far the best campsite I have stayed at in every aspect. It is beautiful, clean, all the facilities you could possibly want. I have stayed here many many times and for long periods at a time too.
The owners and caretakers are very friendly.
There is a shop, a local information room, fridge and freezer space, laundry facilities, a drying room and the cleanest toilet and shower facilities I have ever come across.
The location is perfect for exploring this area of Wales and there is also a bus service that runs right past the site entrance that will take you into either Brecon or Abergavenny.
There is a lovely children's playground away from the main camping areas and even a museum area with old farming vehicles and equipment.
I can't recommend it highly enough.
